A group of disabled youngsters cheered on London Scottish and met players after they beat Nottingham on Saturday.

The seven beneficiaries of charity Whizz-Kidz, which provides wheelchairs, fun-clubs and placement opportunities for disabled children, were treated to hospitality at the 34-29 victory for London Scottish at Richmond Athletic Ground.

Chairman of the Whizz-Kidz Kidz board and Royal Holloway student George Fielding was born with cerebral palsy and has benefited from the charity’s work for almost 10 years.

The 20-year-old said: "The day was absolutely fantastic and the club looked after us incredibly well, we were all so glad to be there."

Mr Fielding said Whizz-Kidz was the first organisation he encountered he felt understood his disability and the passion he had to contribute.

He said: "It is not just the support they have given me in terms of funds and equipment, they are like a second family to me.

"There are 70,000 people in the country we estimate still waiting for the right mobility equipment, and without the right equipment these young people can’t live life to the fullest and become the Tanni Grey-Thompson and the role models of the future."

Chairman of London Scottish RFC and Whizz-Kidz Sir David Reid said he was delighted the two organisations could come together on Saturday for such a prominent game in the club’s season.
